When The Levee Breaks Lyrics
When The Levee Breaks - Kansas Joe McCoy
If it keeps on raining levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining levee's going to break
And the water gonna come in
Have no place to stay
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Thinking about my baby and my happy home
If it keeps on raining levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining levee's going to break
And all these people have no place to stay
Now look here mama what am I to do
Now look here mama what am I to do
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to
I works on the levee mama both night and day
I works on the levee mama both night and day
I ain't got nobody keep the water away
Oh crying won't help you praying won't do no good
Oh crying won't help you praying won't do no good
When the levee breaks mama you got to lose
I works on the levee mama both night and day
I works on the levee mama both night and day
I works so hard to keep the water away
I had a woman she wouldn't do for me
I had a woman she wouldn't do for me
I'm going back to my used to be
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Gonna leave my baby and my happy home
